So if you were passing the Mangere Town Centre carpark last night and saw a few flasher cars amongst the makeshift house-cars the homeless are sleeping in, they would have been occupied by the Labour/Green family.
Yes, some politicians decided to show solidarity with those who park-up because they don't have their own drive to park in.
Within an hour of The Greens' Marama Davidson putting out a press statement saying she was going to spend the night in her car to show the homeless that she cares, and that she's going to do everything she can to speak out and speak up for them, Labour had outbid her.
Three of their MPs were rugged up in their cars overnight, saying they want the Beehive to hear the message loud and clear that it's unacceptable and totally wrong that they've created an environment where families with children are forced to sleep in cars.
Martin Luther Cunliffe may be ashamed of being a man but he's not too proud to spend a night in his car, it seems. It was likely parked some distance away from the local MP, Su'a William Sio's saloon for the night though, who apparently had a shout-out snout, a snore that even the best car stereo wouldn't be able to silence.
